The fact that this is the lead on the City & Region section tells you a lot!
Would it be there if it was a protest of Zionists?
No.
Or the coverage would be so biased and slanted, it would be a 180-degree fabrication of events!
Anyway,
"Palestinian rights meeting is protested" by Michael Paulson/Boston Globe October 27, 2007
Hundreds of advocates for Palestinian rights gathered inside a Back Bay church yesterday as pro-Israel demonstrators denounced them from across Boylston Street in Copley Square, in an illustration of how the Mideast conflict has roiled relations between leaders of the Jewish and mainline Protestant communities in Boston.
Inside Old South Church, about 700 advocates of Palestinian rights launched a two-day conference, provocatively titled, "The Apartheid Paradigm in Palestine-Israel." The meeting will feature a keynote speech today by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa.
Yeah, the truth and free speech are provocative in ZioAmeriKa!!!!
The pro-Israel demonstrators, who numbered about 200, furiously denounced the use of the word apartheid to describe Israel, as well as what the Jewish community said were anti-Israel views espoused by Sabeel, the Palestinian Christian organization that put together the conference.
Hey, did you see that, reader?
The NaZionists are PROTESTING CHRISTIANS!!!
Gonna finally get a clue now, Christians, about how the NaZionist's spit on you!?
But both sides also said they are determined to work together locally.
Except you can't work with Zionists. I've tried, and it's impossible.
They compromise on absolutely nothing!
The president of the Massachusetts Conference of the United Church of Christ and the senior minister of Old South Church both issued statements expressing support for Israel and opposition to terrorism, even as they defended the decision to rent the Old South building to Sabeel. And the executive director of the Jewish Community Relations Council defended the free speech rights of Sabeel and concern for Palestinian rights, even as she denounced the conference as "an effort to demonize the state of Israel."
If the shoe fits, Zionist, put a bomb in one!!!
The three officials gathered on a sidewalk in front of the church to talk between the protest and the conference and said they have planned a meeting of Jewish and United Church of Christ leaders next week..
Old South has, over its three-plus centuries in existence, repeatedly hosted gatherings by groups championing controversial points of view, including abolition and women's suffrage and gay rights.
Except this time, they chose the great unspeakable: CRITICISM of the Holy Stink State!!!!
Its senior minister, the Rev. Nancy S. Taylor, said the decision to rent the sanctuary to Sabeel represents an idea that is "at the heart of a free and vital democratic nation."
Which is why the Zionists protested!
Taylor also said the congregation has pulled together a series of speakers with diverse views about the Middle East to explore the complexity of the issue. Some Jewish speakers pulled out, but others have signed on.
Rev. Nancy S. Taylor, in a statement:
"We grieve for Israel's profound experience of insecurity and fear as it is surrounded by a horrific combination of hostile nations, corrupt leadership, and terrorism. We also stand firmly in support of Palestinian Christians and grieve for their experience of suffering, fear, and deprivation as an oppressed minority."
I don't grieve for Israel anymore.
I used to, but that was before I found out they are a bunch of lying, land-stealing, genocidal mass-murdering NaZionists!!!
Last night Tutu greeted and blessed the gathering, saying:
"God looking down at this assemblage smiles on you."
He was accompanied by Bishop M. Thomas Shaw of the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts, a frequent advocate for Palestinians, who called the gathering a "magnificent conference."
The founder of Sabeel - the Rev. Naim Ateek, a Palestinian Episcopal priest - told the crowd that "the racism of the Israeli government has become more obviously clear."
ABSOLUTELY!!!
That's why I rage -- because of the INJUSTICE, MURDER and LYING!!!!!!!
Ateek, who was singled out by the pro-Israel demonstrators as an "extremist anti-Zionist," was unstinting in his criticism of Israel, insistent that the Israeli government is creating a form of apartheid by its actions toward Palestinians. He said that conditions in the Israeli-occupied territories may be worse than conditions for blacks during apartheid in South Africa.
Nothing wrong with that!
Ateek: "The occupation, my friends, is evil, and it must end. [But I also condemn violence, coming from two parties], the Israeli government and extremists."
CONDEMNED VIOLENCE, 'eh?
Israel never does!
The demonstration preceding the conference was sponsored by several dozen Jewish organizations and synagogues. Many of the demonstrators held Israeli flags and signs reading. "We Support Israel," but some held signs with angrier messages.
Really?
What were those ANGRY SIGNS the Zionists were holding up, and why doesn't the shitty Zionist paper tell me?
You can bet they would have made a HUGE issue of it if the protests were the other way around!
Pffffffffftttttttt!!!!
Some displayed a mock photo of the sign in front of Old South Church, with the message altered to say "Today's Sermon: Blame the Jews." (On the church's actual sign, it posted a quote from a liberal rabbi, Michael Lerner, on the importance of "the healing and repair" of the world.)
So they DEFACED a sign post, huh, the fucking peaceful, non-violent NaZionist, huh?
What scum!
Many speakers and signholders questioned why the conference was criticizing Israel rather than Arab states.
Barry Shrage, president of Combined Jewish Philanthropies:
"There are states in the Middle East where discrimination is a way of life, and it's not Israel."
So the War Paper went and talked to the PROTESTERS, huh?
Pffffffffttttt!
But they IGNORE the protests against the Iraq war -- or denigrate them if they cover!!!!!!
Getting a clear picture on the shithole Zionist papers of AmeriKa, readers?
As for Israel not discriminating, that is just one more NaZionist lie!!! Don't believe me?
Go ask an Israeli Arab if he feels discriminated against.
Better yet, read a memory hole!
He said there is a lack of freedom and democracy, and discrimination against women, gays, and non-Muslims in countries such as Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan.
More NaZionist lies for you!!!
I guess it is O.K. to DEMONIZE Muslim in Zionist AmeriKa, though!!!!
Pfffffttttt!
And here is my proof:
"Did you know?
27. October 2007
… that non-Jewish Israelis can’t buy or lease land in Israel.
… that Palestinian license plates in Israel are color coded to distinguish Jews from non-Jews.
… that Jerusalem, both East and West, is considered by the entire world community, including the United States, to be occupied territory and NOT part of Israel.
… that Israel allots 85% of the water resources for Jews and the remaining 15% is divided among all Palestinians in the “territories”? For example in Hebron, 85% of the water is given to about 400 settlers, while 15% must be divided among Hebron’s 120,000 Palestinians.
… the United States awards Israel $5 billion in aid each year.
… that yearly US aid to Israel exceeds the aid the US grants to the whole African continent.
… that Israel is the only country in the Middle East that has nuclear weapons.
… that Israel is the only country in the Middle East that refuses to sign the nuclear non-proliferation treaty and bars international inspections from its sites.
… that Israel currently occupies territories of two sovereign nations (Lebanon and Syria) in defiance of United Nations Security Council resolutions.
… that Israel has for decades routinely sent assassins into other countries to kill its political enemies.
… that high-ranking military officers in the Israeli Occupation Forces have admitted publicly that unarmed prisoners of war were executed by the IOF.
… that Israel refuses to prosecute its soldiers who have acknowledged executing prisoners of war.
… that Israel routinely confiscates bank accounts, businesses and land, and refuses to pay compensation to those who suffer the confiscation.
… that Israel blew up an American diplomatic facility in Egypt and attacked a U.S. ship in international waters, killing 33 and wounding 177 American sailors.
… that the second most powerful lobby in the United States, according to a recent Fortune magazine survey of Washington insiders, is the Israeli AIPAC.
… that Israel stands in defiance of 69 United Nations Security Council Resolutions.
… that today’s Israel sits on the former sites of more than 400 now-vanished Palestinian villages, and that the Israeli’s re-named almost every physical site in the country to cover up the traces.
… that it was not until 1988 that Israelis were barred from running “Jews Only” job ads.
… that four prime ministers of Israel Begin, Shamir, Rabin, and Sharon, have taken part in either bomb attacks on civilians, massacres of civilians, or forced expulsions of civilians from their villages.
… that the Israeli Foreign Ministry pays two American public relations firms to promote Israel to Americans.
…that Israel’s government includes a party which advocates expelling all Palestinians from the occupied territories.
… that Israel’s settlement-building increased rapidly since Oslo.
… that settlement building under Barak doubled compared to settlement building under Netanyahu.
… that Israel once dedicated a postage stamp to a man who attacked a civilian bus and killed several people.
… that recently-declassified documents indicate that David Ben-Gurion in at least some instances approved of the expulsion of Palestinians in 1948.
We often hear of Ehud Barak’s generosity about an alleged return of 95% of the Palestinian Occupied Territories. When Palestinians refused, they were blamed for “missing an opportunity.” The Palestinians have already accepted Israel’s existence on 78% of what was Palestine. For those who use the argument of the Bible: God said to Abraham, “Unto thy seed, I will give thy land.” Abraham had two sons. Ismael - the Arab son, and Isaac - the Jewish son. So even if one wants to go to the Bible, the land would belong to both.
… that Palestinian Christians are considered the “living stones” of Christianity because they are the direct descendants of the disciples of Jesus Christ.
… that despite a ban on torture by Israel’s High Court of Justice, torture has continued by Shin Bet interrogators on Palestinian prisoners.
… that Palestinian refugees make up the largest portion of the refugee population in the world.
WELL, NOW YOU DO!
WHAT WILL YOU DO ABOUT IT!?
THE LEAST YOU CAN DO IS LET OTHERS KNOW
